Preface: Safety Information
Please read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor.
Before connecting the AC power 1 cord to an outlet, make sure the
voltage designation on your monitor corresponds to the local electrical supply.
Never insert anything metallic into 2 the monitor openings. Doing so may
create the danger of electric shock.
To avoid electric shock, never 3 touch the inside of the monitor.
Only a qualified technician should open the monitor’s case.
Never use your monitor if the power 4 cord has been damaged. Do not
allow anything to rest on the power cord, and keep the cord away from where people could trip over it.
Be sure to hold the plug, not the 5 cord, when disconnecting the
monitor from an electric socket.
Openings in the monitor cabinet are 6 provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating, these openings should
not be blocked or covered. Also, avoid using the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface.
Doing so may block the ventilation openings in the bottom of the cabinet. If you put the monitor in a bookcase or some other enclosed space, be sure to provide adequate ventilation.
Put your monitor in a location with 7 low humidity and a minimum of
dust. Avoid places like damp basements or dusty hallways.
Do not expose the monitor to rain or 8 use it near water (In kitchens, next
to swimming pools, etc.). If the monitor accidentally gets wet, unplug it and contact an authorized dealer immediately. You can clean the monitor with a damp cloth when necessary, but be sure to unplug the monitor first.
Place the monitor on a solid surface 9 and treat it carefully. The screen is
made of glass and can be damaged if dropped or sharply hit.
Locate your monitor near an easily 10accessible AC outlet.
If your monitor does not operate 11normally – in particular, if there
are any unusual sounds or smells coming from it – unplug it immediately and contact an authorized dealer or service center.
High temperatures can cause 12problems. Don’t use your monitor
in direct sunlight, and keep it away from heaters, stoves, fireplaces, and other sources of heat.
Unplug the monitor when it is 13going to be left unused for an
extended period of time.
Unplug your monitor from the AC 14outlet before any service.
